Re: [time-nuts] Fwd: HP 53131A Power Off Mod

Hi Wayne, Congrats on a nice simple mod ! I have both a 53131 and 181 in need of these :) Can you share the gerbers for your PCBs and then I can cut them out on my mill. I could probably make a few for any interested Australians, to save on cross pond postage. thanks Tim On 8/05/2018

Re: [time-nuts] Working with SMT parts.

With all this discussion about PCB s/w I'm surprised no one's mentioned DipTrace. http://www.diptrace.com/ It has Gerber, DXF, OrCad and other export forms, + it has 3D library's for popular components so you can see what your device is going to look like before you build it. It works

[time-nuts] Hp 5316B capture s/w

Hi all, Does anyone know of a simple program to capture the frequency data from a HP 5316B over a time period via GPIB ? I'd like to do some tests on some oscillators I have vs temperature. thanks Tim -- VK2XTT :: QF56if :: BMARC :: WIA :: AMSAT-VK :: AMSAT

[time-nuts] Disciplining a Rubidium with a Thunderbolt.

Hi all, Just wondering how many people have used John Miles work @ http://www.ke5fx.com/tbolt.htm, or similar, to discipline a rubidium oscillator and if so... 1. what was the RB of choice ? 2.have any measurements of phase noise etc. been published on such a rig ? 3. Are there any published

Re: [time-nuts] Thunderbolt Supply

Hi Larry, I use a linear supply for mine. My supply is actually a headphone amp supply kit from JayCar Electronics here in Australia. Its basically two LM317's and a 7805 for 5v. I changed the resistor that set the output voltage from 15v to 12v and also selected an appropriate toroid

Re: [time-nuts] GPS Antenna

Hi all, I use a Symmetricom 58532A, they have a gain of 30 - 38dBi. Just what you need for a deaf Tbolt on the end of a long coax run :) You can buy them off eBay for ~$30 each http://cgi.ebay.com/Symmetricom-58532A-N-type-female-GPS-antenna-antenne-/230568432072 regards Tim -- VK2XTT

Re: [time-nuts] Advice on a freq time standard.

Hi Jerry, I use a Tbolt for my shack standard. It locks my Kenwood TS-850 and all my counters and signal generators. They are excellent units for this job. I use the TAPR TADD-2 distribution board kits to distribute the signal to each device. http://www.tapr.org/kits_tadd-2.html I also
